ログインAs he proceeded to stab his target, his hand just passed through like there was nothing there. The shock on his face was priceless. He was really sure that the person he was sent to kill wasn't untouchable, so why?, was it some skill, illusion, or was his own mind playing tricks on him?. He watched as the person in front of him turned and yelled in a tone that showed no signs of surprise "Shirooo!!, someone's hear to assassinate you" then turned and said to him "wait outside, he'll be out in a minute". Still a bit confused, the man took a few steps back as instructed and waited for what would happen next. His plan was foiled, but curiosity kept him on the job
Very little time passed before he finally began to see two of the same person, the one that was just arriving also looked unsurprised, and to make things more awkward, he was smiling. "Nice to meet you, my name is Shiro, Shiro Anderson. What's yours"
He was shocked at how one could be polite to a man that just tried to kill him, but at the same time, he was moved, so he reciprocated "I'm Lucas, just call me Lucas" he said, as he drew out his knife in response to his opponent's stance. Lucas wondered why someone who was battle-ready would be listening to music that was loud enough for someone else to hear through the headphones, so he turned to the other one and asked "Isn't he at a disadvantage with that?" but the boy just smiled and replied "you're the one at disadvantage."
"So what's your name?" Lucas asked again while being careful of Shiro
"it's Yang, my name is Yang" the boy answered without hesitation. Shiro and Yang were twins, no doubt about it, but what surprised Lucas was that their names meant the same thing, "White".
At this point Lucas was overcome with curiosity. The boys were polite to an assassin, there names meant the same thing, and how the hell does wearing headphones give you advantage in battle. But before he could ask anymore questions, Shiro's lightning grazed his left cheek as he dodged at the last second, it was the first time anyone had ever taken him by surprise. Normally, he would be the one surprising people, and not the other way around, he was as world class assassin, the best of the best, but right now he was being backed into a corner because of a factor that he didn't account for, but not for long.
Shiro's barrage of punches kept coming, and Lucas was evading all of them, moving like the wind in a literal manner, and countering them. It was very positive that Shiro was faster, but it was also affirmed that his attacks were predictable, a little too predictable. Shiro's strikes were repetitive, following the same pattern over and over again, neither increasing nor reducing speed, and Lucas was disappointed at this. Lucas could read Shiro patterns in detail, it was almost like he was also hearing the song Shiro was listening to, and that was when he realized that he had fallen for a trap. He had earlier thought that Shiro was too predictable for the skills he displayed, and now he realized. He was moving exactly how Shiro wanted him to move, the rhythmic movements had taken over his reflexes, and he was also being repetitive.
Lucas was trapped in the same dance-like routine, and his next objective was to break out, and probably leave before any other strange thing happens. Shiro, who was now a little distant from Lucas got ready for another strike, as he dashed, covered in lightning as always, and got closer to Lucas, something was different. The air around Lucas was stronger than usual, it was strong enough to be visible, and strong enough to cut Shiro deeply in the belly. "Oh come on!!" Shiro said in a frustrated tone as backed away, holding his stomach tightly.
Lucas finally saw himself at an advantage, he had broken Shiro's rhythm and wounded him seriously, he could complete his mission and and get it over with, but something in his mind told him "no"
Lucas turned his back to Shiro and said "I'm I'll probably come back, amuse me more when I do" then walked to a motorbike that was parked in a corner, hot wired it, and drove off. It was then that Victor came out to see what was going on. The whole situation was explained to him and he replied with an unsurprised "oh" then he asked "has anyone seen my mom's bike?"
"well, Mr Addison" Ellie said as the camera faced Orie. "What are your thoughts on the current state of the match?" "I'm really not sure" Orie replied "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Her like that so I don't actually know what to expect" "But if I had to take a guess..." "... I'd say I'm glad she wasn't like this in our match" Natsumi missed her first strike, and her second, and her third, and her fourth, and... all her strikes, she missed all of it. As it turns out, Kurobe had quite the reflex and was really good at evasion and keeping the distance. Every time Natsumi got close, he quickly evaded and put distance between them, pushing her back, attacking from blind spots, setting walls between them and a Whole lot of moves that prevented him from getting hit but that didn't stop his opponent from trying. With each passing second, Natsumi got closer to landing a hit on Kurobe. At first it was him feeling the little breeze as her fist fle
Many things can anger a fighter. An opponent that toys with them, someone that just won't stay down and in many cases, a direct insult. But none of those things were happening to Kurobe, he was facing something far more annoying; an opponent that isn't paying attention to him. At first glance, it looked like Kurobe was dominating the match without giving his opponent any chance to counter, but there were many times since the beginning of the fight where Natsumi would have been able to strike back but did nothing instead. She had barely moved from where she was standing at the start and she was in deep thought. All Natsumi did from the beginning of the match was to fend off the incoming attacks while thinking about what Orie had said to her. "I have finally seen your true self" "I finally know you" She couldn't muster up the courage to ask him what he meant because she was too afraid of his answer. She was afraid of the truth. "If the real me is a monster...
"Ellie porter here" "I'm in the stadium with our favorite finalist and we're here to watch the tussle for third place" "The crowd density in the stadium today would make you wonder how it would be in the final" "The place is packed!" "The first fighter we see coming on the arena is a favorite of many" "A one time champion who claimed his only title by beating all the heavyweights in the early matches and since then he has never not made it to the semifinals" "He is a force to be reckoned with" "Anyone that saw his previous fights would know that he is an opponent that even the champions do not take lightly" "I introduce to you" "Someone most of you already know" "The head of the department of geography" "The man who almost won against Fuji Waramaki" "ISHIGAMI KUROBE" "The second person coming up to the arena" "We love her for her beauty, we love her for her strength and we love her because she loves the one we want to win"
Orie was finally on the offensive. His wind blasts weren't doing much damage but they were strong enough to throw his opponent off balance and disorganize her attacks. He was able to close the distance bit by bit with each successful blast and every one of them hit. Before Natsumi could tell what was going on, Orie was standing directly under her. "White" orie said with a smile as he looked at her from below, then he spun his staff and struck the floor with it. Natsumi immediately turned to guard against it but no wind came from Orie's direction, it came from above and pushed her down. As Natsumi struggled to stand up, Orie began walking towards her and spoke. "I wondered why my prayers weren't working on you" "It would stop you for a brief moment then she'd take care of the rest by will power" "After this encounter, I think I finally figured it out" "The reason why my prayers don't work and who you are" "You are Natsumi" "You are not a spirit tha
"Power" "The powers that exist this world baffle even those that wield them" "Their might, the mechanism behind their use and their origin" "The world seeks answers to these mysteries but cannot find it because it tries to be logical about it" "Logic can never understand miracles" "Some call it a mutation" "Some call it evolution" "But the only ones that are right are those who think it's a blessing" "A blessing from a being beyond our meager existence" "A blessing from a god" "The law of name suggests that this blessing is not bestowed at random but follows a certain pattern" "It could be by direct meaning" "It could be by a story of the forgotten past" "It could even be through a silly wordplay but your name will affect a great aspect of your life and your power and no one gets to chose which aspect is affected." "As I spoke previously of my teacher's power, he is a market" "It is in the very core of his name" "There is almost nothing that can't be g
"I was wondering why you didn't come to see me all this time" Orie said to Natsumi but got no reply. "You're usually the first to talk, you know" "Now you have me in an awkward position" "I already know what you want so I'm not going to ask" "But you have to tell me one thing" "HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT?"
